i'm joined again by mary schiavo and jeff wise. before i talk about the last words, i want to go back to another key piece of information we just learned from nic robertson. the idea that the malaysian military is saying that it sent planes up into the air to search for flight 370 the minute or when they learned it was missing, several hours later. not looking for debris. this was looking for the missing plane or a sign for it in the sky there. mary, there have been questions all along, why didn't the malaysians scramble jets? now 34 days for the first time, they're suggesting they sort of did. is that strange to you? >> well, it's strange because of the time lag. i mean, the communications stopped, and then what occurred in the next, you know, period of time, few hours or even, you know, minutes, et cetera, and then much later they scrambled, not escort jets, but search jets to go search for it. you know, there's just too many hours there that are unaccounted for. it's very unusual. i think there needs to be a lot more information

so let's bring in cnn aviation correspondent richard quest and se cnn aviation analyst jeff wise. gentlemen, there has been a lot of back and forth, back and forth. who possesss the information? who can release it? here we have this possible news. richard, to you, is this a breakthrough potentially? >> yes, it is. my understanding is that the data is to be released. there have been backward and forward negotiations between inmarsat in the uk and the malaysian government and various other authorities basically setting out exactly what should be released it's fine to say "release a data." but once you start going down the road you have to work out, well, what is the data? if you've got 500 pages of satellite logs, how much of it's relevant, how much of it's not? who's best qualified to put it together into a package to be released. there's no point in throwing everything out there. most of it will be absolutely irrelevant and then you've got questions such as how much about the satellite do you really release? my understanding is the word is very clear from both sides as much as sho

david soucie and jeff wise. gentlemen, you are hearing steven. how irresponsible the authorities would not release a thorough preliminary report and give some sort of explanation why military would not be involved and why this plane could go off radar for 17 minutes before anyone noticed or any action was taken. he has some strong points there. irresponsible, is that one word, jeff, you would use in all of this? >> well, it certainly has been an emotional roller coaster for the families. part of why it is difficult because information has been so scant. i think there is really one big elephant in the room that the authorities are going to have to deal with. that is that they have been telling the families their relatives are dead and they will never see them again, but they won't tell them why. they said it has to do with inmarsat data. they will not open the books and show the nature of this analysis that leads them to this conclusion. frankly, some very interesting information released in the preliminary report this week, but the big gap, the g
